The most specific finding to date about physical damage from the attacks shows that whatever it was that harmed the Americans, it led to perceptible changes in their brains. It is one of several factors fuelling growing scepticism that some kind of sonic weapon was involved.

Medical testing has revealed the embassy workers developed changes to the white matter tracts that let different parts of the brain communicate, several US officials said, describing a growing consensus held by university and government physicians researching the attacks. White matter acts like information highways between brain cells.

A very large solar storm is about to hit earths atmosphere. There are a number of researchers who are pointing fingers at such events causing big earthquakes. I'm not trying to scare anyone here, just putting it out there. Are you prepared for a huge seismic event if it hits where you are? Check your supplies, check your flashlight and bottled water supplies. Be prepared.

University of Sydney researchers have found a solution for one of the biggest stumbling blocks preventing zinc-air batteries from overtaking conventional lithium-ion batteries as the power source of choice in electronic devices.

Zinc-air batteries are batteries powered by zinc metal and oxygen from the air. Due to the global abundance of zinc metal, these batteries are much cheaper to produce than lithium-ion batteries, and they can also store more energy (theoretically five times more than that of lithium-ion batteries), are much safer and are more environmentally friendly.

The lying c*nts at Lockhead Martin have been spinning the bullshit story for a few years that TRILLIONS of dollars are going into developing a jet plane, and shit has gone a bit wrong with this jet plane and dollars (TRILLIONS) have to be continuously flooded down a black hole to make the jet plane work.

It is all bullshit. The F-35 jet is a cover story to explain away a massive funneling of incomprehensible amounts of money into something else. Where is the money really going? Black Budget projects, Secret Space projects, the truth would blow the minds of the average person and knock others sideways. There have been whistleblowers over the last few decades who have shone a beam or 2 of light on this stuff. All of them subjected to intense ridicule.

You might have noticed something unusual when you visited the EFF website today: our site was “blocked” unless you shelled out for “premium” Internet access.

As part of the day of action to support net neutrality, we decided to imagine what might happen if FCC Chairman Ajit Pai caves to industry pressure and abandons the net neutrality rules the FCC adopted just two years ago. If you don’t want to live in that future, it’s time to take action.

It's no secret that there are those in the current UK government who are just itching to kill encryption. Earlier this year, Home Secretary Amber Rudd made some profoundly ill-informed comments about how encryption on the internet was "completely unacceptable" and saying that they needed to stop companies from providing end-to-end encryption. And, in the recently leaked Tory Manifesto, it was made clear that the current government sees breaking encryption as a priority.
